Problems solved by technology

However, some polymer materials, such as polylactic-glycolic acid, make the contrast agent shell hard, and it is difficult to develop the second harmonic imaging contrast-enhanced ultrasound with a low mechanical index. High acoustic output is required to cause nonlinear vibration or rupture of microbubbles. Enhanced contrast imaging is produced, but at the same time the background tissue echo signal is also significantly enhanced, resulting in a significant decrease in the signal-to-noise ratio and poor contrast effects

Abstract

The invention discloses a perfluorooctylbromide coated block polymer ultrasound microbubble contrast agent and a preparation method thereof. The perfluorooctylbromide coated block polymer ultrasound microbubble contrast agent refers to a perfluorooctylbromide coated mPEG-PLLA, PLGA-PEG-PLGA or mPEG-PCL block polymer ultrasound microbubble contrast agent. A preparation method of the agent comprises the steps of preparing an mPEG-PLLA, PLGA-PEG-PLGA or mPEG-PCL block polymer solution, adding perfluorooctylbromide perfluoropentane, perfluorohexane or perfluoropropane to the solution, and then preparing the ultrasound microbubble contrast agent by an electric internal cutting homogenizing, ultrasonic emulsifying or mechanical oscillating method. The perfluorooctylbromide coated block polymer ultrasound microbubble contrast agent provided by the invention is applied to preparation of an ultrasonic imaging diagnosis contrast agent. The high polymer material used by the perfluorooctylbromide coated block polymer ultrasound microbubble contrast agent is safe and nontoxic, and is obviously cheaper than synthetic phospholipids; the microbubble preparation process is simple and convenient; the novel perfluorooctylbromide coated block polymer ultrasound microbubble contrast agent has good potential prospect in clinical application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an ultrasonic microbubble contrast agent in which a fluorocarbon compound capable of liquid-gas phase transition is wrapped by a block polymer, and belongs to the field of ultrasonic image diagnosis. Background technique [0002] Ultrasonic microbubble contrast agent has been widely used in the diagnosis of clinical diseases, which has significantly improved the coincidence rate of ultrasound diagnosis, and is a "milestone" in the history of ultrasound medical development. At present, most of the ultrasound contrast agents used clinically are inert gases wrapped in lipids or albumin, which have poor stability and are prone to spontaneous rupture. [0003] Polymer materials have the advantages of good biocompatibility and biodegradability. The use of polymer materials to prepare ultrasonic microbubble contrast agents has uniform particle size distribution, high stability, and good compression resistance. It has become a hot spot...
